You are valued by many. You enrich us.

It is hard not to be overwhelmed by health and emotional storms - they demand your total attention. But these are only part of what surrounds you, and their power over you diminishes the less you allow them to guide you. The people who value you without passionate love are your true constellation.

F.E.A.R. really worked on me. I might have been scared by things before it, but I don't recall them clearly.

Alt Text: Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads ‘Malys’.

Introducing: Malys. A hellish new roguelite deckbuilder from David Gaider and Summerfall Studios.

As Noah, former priest turned exorcist and demon hunter, exorcise the infernal and exact vengeance.

We're launching a Kickstarter later in April!

90% of writing happens away from the keyboard. In the shower. On a walk. In the car. Wherever you & your thoughts are alone together, that's when writing happens.

If you find yourself stuck, staring at a blinking cursor, unable to find the words, don't be afraid to step away & find somewhere quiet.

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:

If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.

Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

Try Luxe next, then maybe Bevy. They all have some solid ideas and are worth looking at seriously.

I really liked The Gradual; the tone felt distinct, and it was mind-bending enough to engage me.

Pushing everything slowly forward. Focusing hard on that "forward"!
